Hello Family and Friends:

Well to start with I better wish my Mom a happy birthday. Her birthday was yesterday and we called her on skype and wished her a happy birthday. This was the first time we had used skype since we arrived. It didn’t work all that well. The connection in the house is not that good. If we try it again we will go to my office and see if it works better there.

Margaret has arrived and has started work. Maybe she will write an update to keep you all informed about her adventure of “Teaching in Africa”. So far I think she is enjoying it but she has only taught one day.

Work has been a challenge. There have been problems the last two weeks and both plants have been struggling to make soda ash. So maybe I sent out the letter with the atta-boy too soon. I may be coming home in a few weeks.

So there is some more exciting news. Last Saturday night I got a text that said “Am President Suchi, will u be at Langata I need to see you”. To which I sent a text back saying “Yes. I will be there”. Should have gone inactive last week!!!! President Suchi is the Stake President. I have been called as the new Branch President of the Langata Branch. Don’t know if I’m ready for this or not. They are going to split the branch very quickly. The process began by calling me, next they will call the President of the Rangai Branch, find facilities and separate the two groups. So next week I will be sustained and start organizing the branch. It will be an interesting experience to say the least. I’ll keep you all posted as the work progresses. I’m sure I’ll need a lot of inspiration, so remember me in your prayers.

This is already late, so I’ll send it out now without adding much more. Hug all my grandkids and tell them grandpa (Mike) loves them.

Shena, how was my baby in STG. Did she like the attention last weekend?

Love you all,
Paul/dad
